In what many deem a stroke of political genius, President Trump served today as Grand Marshal of the Daytona 500 NASCAR race. He vowed to take a lap in the armored presidential limousine serving as a pace car, and did. Here are two short videos that show some of the action:

As you would expect, the president got an enthusiastic reception from the crowd of up to 200,000. NASCAR is famously patriotic, and Trump is a patriotic president. That may turn out to be the most fundamental difference between Trump and his Democratic opponent in November.

I have been smiling all day just thinking about PDJT riding around the race track and saying, “Gentlemen start your engines!’
It is just so easy for him to push all their buttons. Not only is he getting lots of great publicity, but as he uses up petrol, they can only complain and cry about Global warming - which makes all us deplorables laugh.
The more they rant, the better we feel.
Yeah as soon as she returns to Washington on our 757 she uses
Daytona airport is right behind the track
He’s like a Folk Hero! Books could be written recalling his Trump Tales of Trial Tribulation and Triumph!
Robin Hood, King Arthur, Big John, move over. There’s a NEW Folk’s Hero in town
ROFL. You win!
Two Presidential limos and the enire entourage took a lap...

If you really want to experience “goose bumps” and pride, you should see Air Force 1 just parked on the tarmac...Beautiful bird.
The way I look at it is that the Race Track is on the Airport property. (grin)
When I’m no longer the rudest Freeper on the posts, you know we’re in trouble.
I think it’s going to backfire.
People will become fed up and quickly tire of it.
Nice.
Cool!
And we're starting to get infected with Net Nannies and PC Police.
Not as much sense of humor as in the old days...thin skins abound.
If Nancy told me to appear in front of her, I’d say sorry, Nan, but I’m busy campaigning for Trump...Did you hear USA and Four more Years...
